sew paper mache?

Chanel just debuted it's 2009 Spring Couture Collection. Chanel, of course, is all about straight lines, tailored looks, and clean silhouettes. I love the ivory/white and flowers with the sheer/shiny fabric.. looks so dainty and just pretty. And I really liked how some odd pieces were included along with black, like spice, to make it interesting. 
Believe it or not, all of the crazy headdresses were made from office paper by hairdresser Katsuya Kamo. He used only 2 packets of 11 x 17 office paper and with seven helpers, it took them 3 weeks to make every one of those intricate pieces. 

Side note - a lot of designers are really incorporating accessories, like hats. I love it!
















One poor model took a tumble during the show..a couture show! how embarrassing.. but the heels were pretty freakin high. Everyone will forget Alexandra Tomlinson..
